    PS3/USB thumb Drive


    Guys, I'm trying to put some roster on my thumb key, why I have them on there already, but when I go to the PS3 game option and then go to Saved Data Utility part I see all my other drives and I see my thumb drive, but I don't see my saves, why not....Please help, somebody let me know if I'm doing something wrong...

    I am willing to bet the file/folder structure of where they are on the thumb drive is not correct.

    There needs to be a particular file path, that the roster file is in, in order for the PS3 to see it.

        On your thumb drive you need to have a folder named "PS3". Inside that folder you need another folder titled "SAVEDATA". It has to be in caps, and your game saves must go in that folder for the PS3 to recognize them when you plug the thumb drive in.

            I had the same problems initially to. Their file structure naming convention sucks.

                even if you don't have it in the proper folder structure, you can goto the thumbdrive, hit triangle, and then select "View All Files" (or something along those lines).

                  yes that works, but it wasn't working under the save utility..Which was what I needed it to do.

                    This is a great thread.

                    I would not have known this unless I happed to stumble across it. For those of us that our newer PS3 owners and perhaps have yet to play The Show until the 08 release (such as myself), this will be valuable info when roster editing time comes.

                    Thanks, guys.
